The Fish Kingdom of Glamorous is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Missy with an even hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, national health service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 3.077 billion Glamorousians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gorgeous. The average income tax rate is 59.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Glamorousian economy, worth 319 trillion Glamorous Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 103,737 Glamorous Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The sound of silence from abandoned Violetist temples is deafening, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, the official government position is that "we didn't see nothin'", and on-duty Air Glamorous flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glamorous's national animal is the Poodle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Adelian.

Glamorous is ranked 175,117th in the world and 1st in Pilot for Largest Populations, with 3.08 billion capita.
